Design support system based on qualitative reasoning Desq

Machine: MultiPSI
Environment: PIMOS, SIMPOS
Language: ESP,KL1

Overview
  A tool to determine range of design parameters by qualitative
reasoning

Function
   Desq was developed as a new application of qualitative reasoning to
design.
  Desq suggests valid ranges for design parameters in electronic
circuits.  The inputs to Desq from a designer are the structure of a
circuit and the specification.  Desq can determine design parameters
in the circuit by using deep knowledge, which consists on the
fundamental principles, like Ohms law, and basic function of
components such as diodes and transistors.  If the knowledge base is
exchanged for the other domain except the electronic domain, Desq can
deal with problems of the domain.
